I would like to use the following style (primarily designed for Zotero) in Mendeley:
http://www.zotero.org/styles/leidraad-voor-juridische-auteurs
Loading it in Mendeley is no problem because of the CSL format the style is in. However, the style uses various document types unknown by Mendeley Desktop. For example, citing (Dutch) legal cases is important to me. The 'Case' document type used by Mendeley is not suitable for this, and Mendeley does not seem to accept the document types defined in the CSL file designed for Zotero.
I guess this question relates to the following post:
"Ability to create custom Document Types
Different people care about different types of documents. Instead of trying to add every possible type centrally, it would be useful if users could add new document types and rename / delete existing ones."
answer from Mendeley team:
"This is on our roadmap for this year (2013). It’s a two step process. First we need to replace the hard-coded document types in Mendeley Desktop, and their field mappings to a more flexible system that reads from a standardised config file. This can then be shared between Desktop, iOS, and third party applications. Once this is in place, then we plan to update the document types to be in line with EndNote’s supported types, as well as consider suggestions for other popular reference types."
My question is, first of all: is it indeed not currently possible to make the CSL file listed above work in Mendeley? And secondly, will this be addressed by the solution presented above by the Mendeley team? Thirdly, is this still planned for this year?
